Welcome to a brand-new type of episode where we dive into the exciting learning moments happening inside The Academy! This week, we’re revisiting a phrase from Season 3, Episode 8 with Luke from Luke’s English Podcast: “swings and roundabouts.”

We explore how Luke used it to describe generational differences, the pros and cons of progress, and how this phrase is often used to sum up a balanced perspective. You’ll also learn how to use it naturally in everyday English.

Plus, we shine the spotlight on Academy member Gosia, whose incredible homework dialogue perfectly used the expressions “feel like a fish out of water” and “it’s hard to put my finger on it.” Her example shows just how to bring advanced vocabulary into real-life situations. 👏

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like inside The Academy, we’ll also give you a behind-the-scenes look at how our process works—from vocabulary reviews to live classes and personalised feedback.
